"I am a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace University, Berea, Ohio. I have a B.A. in Psychology and Elementary education. I taught middle school math and science for 22 years, including math intervention, grades 6 and 7. In addition, I've tutored students for over 4 years in all subjects, my favorite being pre-algebra. I help my students become independent learners by teaching with different learning styles tailored to the

I believe all students need a welcoming, supportive, and happy learning environment to be successful.

I have the experience of teaching students for over 22 years and tutoring for over 4 years. I learned many different strategies to help my students understand difficult math concepts. I begin with a problem of the day, followed by direct instruction, practice together, and independent practice. Using models, charts, or any materials that help my students understand. I relate the concept to real-world problems. I'm patient and believe all students can succeed in math.

In my 22 years of teaching, several years were teaching 7th-grade science. I enjoyed teaching by using demonstrations, labs, simulations, such as Gizmo, and a variety of hands-on activities. These strategies helped my students to understand and apply what they learned.

I taught 7th grade Language Arts for 2 years. By understanding the interests of my students, I could plan lessons based on their interests. Also, as a tutor for a local business, I worked with students grades 1 through 7 in reading, FSA practice, and Vocabulary.

As a tutor, I understand that teaching spelling effectively includes phonics, the use of memory aids such as phrases, visuals, chunking, and practice writing the word, using mnemonics, or strategies that help a student understand the pattern.

I would love to help your child and will respond quickly to requests for tutoring." less...
